Based on the unbelievably true life stories of these three women, Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monae, and Octavia Spencer help to bring this story to the big screen — which definitely qualifies as some Black Girl Magic.

150 years of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, overlooked icon of Black classical music
The British composer was a generational success story before his death at 37 — yet keeping that legacy in view has always been a challenge, even during his lifetime.

Second day in a row, I’ve been moved to share one of my modest drawings. Philando Castile should have turned 42 today. He was a school cafeteria worker who frequently paid for lunches for students who owed money or could not afford to pay. He was know for his caring, loving nature. 🖤 Philando 🕊️

A thread Okay. I feel obliged to check-in after actually seeing James Gunn’s SUPERMAN. We loved it. It is an old school epic superhero romp. Only in 2025 would an earnest and diligent Superman be so subversive and divisive.

A thread Without even seeing James Gunn’s “Superman”, or being a huge fan of the character, (I’m a Marvel comics kinda brotha, with the exception of loving Batman.) I can say a thing or two regarding the labels of “wokeness” and being too “pro immigrant” that have been leveled at the film.
